Abstract

An angular corner protector comprises a protruding corner rib 6 a channel and internal corner 6 which receives the rib of the underlying protector, thus allowing large numbers of protectors to be stacked. The rib includes a recess in its central region which receives a banded strap to bind a package. <IMAGE>

Description

Angular Components for Protecting the Corners of Packages This invention relates to angular components for protecting the corners of packages secured by means of banded straps. The angular components are designed to be capable of being stacked one on top of another, thus enabling a self-supporting stack of a significant number of angular elements to be formed for retention in binding machines for wrapping packages. This facilitates distribution of the components in use.
One feature of angular components in accordance with the invention is the provision of a rib which protrudes outwardly from the external surface of the corner of the angular component. The component is recessed in its central region to receive a binding strap for a package, thus ensuring that the strap is centrally placed in relation to the angular component.
According to the present invention, there is provided an angular component for protecting a corner of a package secured by a banded strap, the component including in its corner an external rib which protrudes outwardly from the component corner and is formed with an internal channel to enable a plurality of angular components to be stacked one above another with the rib of the component located within the channel of a component stacked above the said component.
The invention will now be described by way of example only with reference to the accompanying diagrammatic drawings, in which: Figure 1 is a perspective view of an angular component in accordance with the invention just prior to mounting on to a corner of a package to be wrapped; and Figure 2 is a side view showing a stack of angular components.
As can be seen from Figure 1, the thickness of the angular component 1 decreases progressively from the corner region of the component towards its outer edges.
The component includes a rib 2 which protrudes diagonally outwardly from the outer surface of the corner d 5 cut centrally to form a recess 3, within which a strap 4 seats when used to bind a package 5. The recess 3 prevents the strap from slipping sideways in relation to the angular component 1.
As can be seen from Figure 2, the internal surface of the corner region of the angular component 1 is formed with a channel 6, so dimensioned and shaped to enable the rib 2 of an underlying angular component 1 to locate within the channel.
The elasticity of the angular components ensures that each component can securely be stacked onto the one below.
Thus, it is possible to form a stack of a significant number of angular components in a distribution device of a controlling machine for automatic application of individual components onto the corners of packages, and to allow easy release when required.
It is to be understood that the foregoing is merely exemplary of one embodiment of an angular component in accordance with the invention and that modifications may readily be made thereto without departing from the true scope of the invention.

Claims (3)

CLAIMS:
1. An angular component for protecting a corner of a package secured by a banded strap, the component including in its corner an external rib which protrudes outwardly from the component corner and is formed with an internal channel to enable a plurality of angular components to be stacked one above another with the rib of the component located within the channel of a component stacked above the said component.
2. An angular component as claimed in Claim 1, wherein the external rib is recessed to receive and locate a banded strap.
3. An angular component substantially as herein described with reference to Figures 1 and 2 of the accompanying drawings.
